Your vehicle is supplied with two

kinds of key.

1. Master key—This key works in every

lock.

2. Subkey—This key will not work in the

glovebox.

To protect things locked in the glovebox

when you have your vehicle parked, leave

the subkey with the attendant.

Since the doors can be locked without a

key, you should always carry a spare

master key in case you accidentally lock

your keys inside the vehicle.

KEY NUMBER PLATE

Your key number is shown on the

plate. Keep the plate in a safe place

such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.

If you should lose your keys or if you need

additional keys, duplicates can be made

by a Toyota dealer using the key number.

You should also put a copy of the key

number with your important papers.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY

Insert the key into the keyhole and turn

it.

To lock: Turn the key forward.

To unlock: Turn the key backward.

Vehicles with power door lock system—

All the side doors and back door lock and

unlock simultaneously with either front

door. In the driver’s door lock, turning the

key once will unlock the driver’s door and

twice in succession will unlock all the side

doors simultaneously.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH IN-

SIDE LOCK BUTTON

Move the lock button.

To lock: Push the button downward.

To unlock: Pull the button upward.

Closing the door with the lock button

pushed in will also lock the door. Be care-

ful not to lock your keys in the vehicle.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH

POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH

Push the switch.

To lock: Push the switch on the front side.

To unlock: Push the switch on the rear

side

All the doors lock or unlock simultaneously.

REAR DOOR CHILD-PROTECTORS

Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”

position as shown on the label.

This feature allows you to lock a rear door

so it can be opened from the outside only,

not from inside. We recommend using this

feature whenever small children are in the

vehicle.

CAUTION

Before driving, be sure that the

doors are closed and locked, espe-

cially when small children are in the

vehicle. Along with the proper use

of seat belts, locking the doors

helps prevent the driver and pas-

sengers from being thrown out from

the vehicle during an accident. It

also helps prevent the doors from

being opened unintentionally.

The windows can be operated with the

switch on each side door.

The power windows work when the igni-

tion switch is in the “ON” position. Howev-

er, if both front side doors are closed, they

work for 60 seconds even after the ignition

switch is turned off. They stop working

when either front side door is opened.

OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW

Use the switch on the driver’s door.

Normal operation: The window moves

as long as you hold the switch.

To open: Lightly push down the switch.

To close: Pull up the switch.

Automatic operation (to open only):

Push the switch completely down and

then release it. The window will fully open.

To stop the window partway, lightly pull the

switch up and then release it.

Power windows

OPERATING THE PASSENGERS’ WIN-

DOWS

Use the switch on the passenger’s

door. The driver’s door also has a

switch that controls the passenger’s

window.

The window moves as long as you hold

the switch.

To open: Push down the switch.

To close: Pull up the switch.

If you push in the window lock button on

the driver’s door, the passenger’s window

cannot be operated.

CAUTION

To avoid serious personal injury,

you must do the following.

 Always make sure the head, hands

and other parts of the body of all

occupants are kept completely in-

side the vehicle before you close

the power windows. If someone’s

neck, head or hands gets caught in

a closing window, it could result in

a serious injury. When anyone

closes the power windows, be sure

that they operate the windows

safely.

 When small children are in the ve-

hicle, never let them use the power

window switches without supervi-

sion. Use the window lock button

to prevent them from making unex-

pected use of the switches.

 Never leave small children alone in

the vehicle, especially with the

ignition key still inserted. They

could use the power window

switches and get trapped in a win-

dow. Unattended children can be-

come involved in serious acci-

dents.

The back window can be operated with

the inner switch on the center console

or outer switch on the back door.

OPERATING FROM INSIDE

The ignition key must be in the “ON” posi-

tion.

The back window moves as long as you

hold the inner switch.

To open: Push the switch on the “DOWN”

side.

To close: Push the switch on the “UP”

side.

You can also open the back window when

the back window wiper is working. At that

time, the wiper stops working until the win-

dow is closed again.

If you push in the window lock button on

the driver’s door (with power window) or

on the instrument panel (without power

window), the back window can be oper-

ated.

OPERATING FROM OUTSIDE

The back window moves as long as you

You can also open the back window when

the back window wiper is working. At the

time, the wiper stops working until the win-

dow is closed again.

CAUTION

To avoid serious personal injury,

you must do the following.

 Always make sure the head,

hands and other parts of the body

of all occupants are kept com-

pletely inside the vehicle before

you close the power back window.

If someone’s neck, head or hands

gets caught in a closing window,

it could result in a serious injury.

When anyone closes the power

back window, be sure that they

operate the window safely.

 When small children are in the ve-

hicle, never let them use the pow-

er back window switch without

supervision. Use the window lock

button to prevent them from mak-

ing unexpected use of the switch.

 Never leave small children alone

in the vehicle, especially with the

ignition key still inserted. They

could use the power back window

switch and get trapped in a win-

dow. Unattended children can be-

come involved in serious acci-

dents.

 Keep the back window closed

while driving. This not only keeps

the luggage from being thrown

out but also prevents exhaust

gases from entering the vehicle.

ing luggage.

not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as

soon as possible.

case of an accident.

 Use only a genuine Toyota fuel

tank cap for replacement. It has a

built-in check valve to reduce fuel

tank vacuum.
